Press the assigned programmable key to disable the
Transmit Battery Saver, if you are operating in a loca-
tion where high power is almost always needed.
The Transmit Battery Saver helps extend battery life
by reducing transmit power when a very strong signal
from an apparently nearby station is being received.
Under some circumstances, though, your hand-held
radio may not be heard well at the other end of the
communication path, and high power may be neces-
sary at all times.

The “Follow-Me” Scan feature checks a User-
assigned Priority Channel regularly as you scan other
channels. Thus, if only Channels 1, 3, and 5 (of the 8
available channels) are designated for “Scanning”, the
user may nonetheless assign Channel 2 as the “User-
assigned” Priority Channel via the “Follow-Me” fea-
ture.
To activate “Follow-Me” scanning, first select the
channel you want to designate as the “User-Assigned
Priority Channel” and press the assigned program-
mable key. Then rotate the
CH
Selector knob to re-
call to the “Scanning Start” channel which has been
programmed by your dealer to activate the scanner.
When the scanner stops on an “Active” channel, the
User-assigned Priority Channel will automatically be
checked every few seconds; if activity is found on the
User-assigned Priority Channel, the radio will switch
between it and the Dealer-Assigned Priority Channel,
if any.
